Lyrtech Professional Audio Development Kit

The Lyrtech Professional Audio Development Kit (PADK) is a stand-alone audio digital signal processing development board, based on the brand-new, low-cost TMS320C6727TM floating-point digital signal processor (DSP) from Texas Instruments. The PADK is extremely flexible and benefits from more capabilities than most professional audio applications require.

Working with such a capable platform accelerates the overall design efficiency and allows developers the liberty to create exactly the type of platform they need. Developers can use the PADK as a base design, building upon it to create a final design. Because of the flexibility of the components used, the PADK can be readily cost-reduced and brought to production.

Features and benefits 

• Eight high-quality Burr-Brown® 24-bit resolution ADC and DAC, capable of sampling rates of up to 192 kHz for multichannel coding, processing, or sound generation.
• Coaxial and optical 24-bit input and output digital ports capable of sampling rates of up to 192 kHz-ideal for direct digital professional audio application development.
• USB port-ideal for high-speed communications to a host computer, which allows streaming audio in real time, downloading large sound banks, and handling any other high bandwidth applications.
• MIDI input, output, and thru ports to interface directly with external musical instruments and controllers.
• Analog port for external control inputs, such as pedals and switches.
• The high-resolution sampling rate converter of the PADK offers the possibility to simultaneously operate at different input and output sampling rates, and to lock to various audio and word clock input sources.
